Nils kähler, one of his descendants, took over the reins in 1940 with his brother herman. First an apprentice, he studied sculpture at the royal academy of fine arts in copenhagen, then became a master ceramist. He will be production director and designer for kähler, but also for other manufacturers. The company left the family in 1974, it is still in operation today.
